Firefox on Startup

On startup why doesn't my Firefox homepage open in full screen mode any more? When I tap the Firefox Icon to begin a Firefox session, Firefox opens in a small window in the upper left corner of the screen. I can minimize that small screen. Then tapping when the Icon once again, Firefox opens full screen. I am unable to get a screen shot to show this small window.
